After 4 decades of touring and recording he's obtained the genuine respect for never compromising in his song writing. His fans of course have always known this but in the last few years there's been more new comers to his music then ever before thanks to the video exposure of his music, YouTube etc.
These days Roy hand picks his gigs so you won't get many chances to catch this folk legend on tour but if his Albert Hall performance in 2011 is anything to go by you'll still get a performance of one of his most recognised and evocative songs 'The Same Old Rock' which he originally recorded with Jimmy Page. Page has been a long time mate even dedicating one of Led Zeppelins tracks to him.
Whether you know his 1970 'Stormcock' album or not there's never a wrong time to hear this song. Listen out for the duel riff guitars of Page and Harper at about 9.54. You don't often get to hear a 12 string played this well.
